I have one of these. The case is definitely decent and watertight. The picture is great for $40. The reason it's so cheap is- the camera construction is pretty cheezy. I got mine for about $40 and I am happy with it for that. I think of it as disposable.

What is the battery life like? You think it would work well for a dash cam?

Got one last time it was on Woot. Gets extremely Hot! Only lasts for 5 min a record, then overwrites itself. Battery drains in 40 min or less. I Use it for a dash-cam, But it only works upside down with the mount. Prolly more suited for cold climates instead of Texas. The charger will not work with it mounted because the case is waterproof. But it's cheap.

The official product page is lacking on a number of details. No reviews, videos, or manuals. The MSRP changes by color. It doesn't specify the framerates of video capture (30fps most likely). At least it mentions that battery life is less than 2 hours per charge.

In for one because at $40, because its $40. I doubt it’s better than Lumia 1020 but it’s a lot cheaper. I don't like to take my 1020 out of its protective pouch on the boat or kayak. Hopefully it has some stabilization and shoots at 30 FPS.

I have the GearPro 720P which looks almost identical to this so I am guessing that it has the same internals. Yes, it works fairly well as a dash cam. You can run it in car mode which will save the recordings in 5 minute files.

It sure does, and considering that it is prime eligible it is essentially the same price when you factor in woot's shipping. Although this PYLE is cheap, not much of a deal unless you NEED one as you can pick one of the Emerson's up on Amazon for the same money at a later date.
